There are still a couple of things that need to be tested more intensively and Mike Dabies, one of the developers, is now requesting the help of users.

To get involved in the jailbreak project, users have to download the Apple TV 3 files and extract the keys from the keybag file. All the details are available on the AppleTV3Jailbreak website.
